Jazz it up

Sweater and Skirt - LOFT, Scarf - Rachel Roy, Tights F21, Shoes - Shoedazzle

I love to accessorize (or as Rachel Zoe would say, excessorize).  It's such a fun and budget friendly way to jazz up the basics!  Take this outfit for example - it's just a basic jean skirt and black sweater.  Worn on it's own and it's a total snooze fest!  But add a fun scarf, polka dot tights and some hot pink booties, and now we're talking!  If I wasn't worried about Peanut ripping my earlobes, I would have added some fabulous chandelier earrings, but alas, those will have to wait until he's out of his grabbing stage... (when will that be exactly? :) )

I want to thank you all for your positive feedback to my article yesterday.  I had so much fun writing for Jill's blog!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Wednesday!

It's here!

Well folks, it has been sneaking up on us for weeks now, but it has finally arrived...

the holiday season!

Not only is it here, but it is the FIRST one for my little Peanut!!  

I have decided to start the season off with a bang - we have four Halloween parties in the next three days.  Not only that, but I am running a Halloween themed 5k on Saturday - an hour before the party I am hosting!  I am a bit stressed now but SUPER excited.  :)

 There's only one thing that I am a bit worried about - I only have one costume for Peanut - keep your fingers crossed for me that we can keep it semi-clean!!  I have a feeling it will be in the wash more than once this weekend.

Well my bloggy friends - I am off to bed as I will be up bright and early to begin the preparations for parties one and two.  Can't wait to share the pictures with you all!

Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway!  I will be announcing the lucky winner on Monday!!

Back to mommyland

While my hubby will be around this weekend to take some more pics outside, for today, it's back to Peanut's room.

Blazer - Rachel Roy, Vest - Brooks Brothers, Tee - LOFT, Jeans - GAP, 

Shoes - Shoedazzle, Scarf - Modcloth

But really, isn't that the reality of motherhood?  You spend most of your time in the nursery.  

And to be honest, there is nowhere in the world I would rather be.  Notice how Peanut's bathrobe made it in the pic.  Isn't it cute?  It's a ducky robe! :)  As you can see, I'm looking down on my son here - he had just chucked Sophie the Giraffe across the bed - this kid has quite an arm!!

All bundled up and ready to go.  Where to, you ask?  To Target baby!  Then it's back home for some light housework, laundry and then Tia and my inlaws are coming for dinner! 

What can I say?  I live a glamorous life. :) 

But you know what?  I wouldn't trade it for anything!

This closeup's for you, Style Underdog! :)
